Everyone was a bit shy at first and stayed as a group around a single enclosure – it wasn’t long however until everyone was lying on the ground trying to get some nice crocodile close-ups through the fences.

The crocs were very considerate and sat nice and close to the fences

More confident with their cameras and eager to get on!

Then it was time for the photography workshop to really begin. Here is where Roger De La Harpe and all attendees (gently) picked apart images. It’s great, not only did we learn from our mistakes but everyone elses as well.

Day 2 – Afternoon

Portrait photography!

Ntombi in her beads

Poor Ntombi she had the joyful job of posing for us. Ntombi works at the lodge, and as well as cleaning the rooms, feeding the iguanas and occasionally being one of our servers at the lappa, she now had to smile until her cheeks hurt (thankfully Ntombi is so usually always so cheerful this isn’t too much of a problem for her)!

This sounds like a great idea! My husband and I are looking at going on safari but neither of us are great photographers. It would be great to learn a few more techniques and to get a bit more experience before going out on safari. It would be terrible to go all that way and to come back with poor pictures.
